Support INI

We all recognize the urgent need to deal with violent conflict threatening our world. INI offers a unique, fundamental approach to this pressing challenge by focusing on emotions.

To accomplish our mission, INI relies on the support and generosity of donors around the world. As INI continues to grow, we are looking for contributions from those who share our vision. If you are interested in learning more about INI or donating, please email Daniel Shapiro, Director of INI.

  • Learn more. There is a growing literature on the emotional dimension of conflict management. A good place to start is with Beyond Reason: Using Emotions as You Negotiate (by Roger Fisher and Daniel Shapiro, 2005, Viking/Penguin), which focuses on how to use emotions to get what you each want in a negotiation. This book's framework, "the core concerns framework," has been used successfully in a variety of contexts, including business, international relations, and personal relations. For more information on Beyond Reason, visit the website at www.beyond-reason.net.

    Another negotiation book is Getting to YES: Negotiating Agreement without Giving In (by Roger Fisher, William Ury, and Bruce Patton, 1991, Penguin). That book is a foundational text for "interest-based negotiation."

    For other books on negotiation, we recommend you visit the Clearinghouse at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.
